Might as well crush Atlanta

We've already screwed the pooch on a high draft pick (making the large assumption we'd do something useful with it), so we better take it to the Falcons.

Drew has an outside shot at 5000 yards so we need to light them up.

Oh boy ...

Regardless of draft position, you play to win. The Patriots must be winning because they pick in the top 8 every year right?? If you have solid scouts (I think we do in Ireland) & coaches, you find good players to fit your system in any draft order.

Beating the dirty birds will be priority #1.

We're risking Drew so we dang sure better win!

And exactly how are we risking Drew? He has a completely torn plantar fascia. It can't be made worse by playing on it. The only issue is pain and that can be controlled by medication and proper wrapping/support.

Exactly. Once it is torn it is torn. You actually want it to tear completely. Until it does it hurts like hell. Once that thing pops it hurts a lot less. It isnt bothering him enough to effect his play obviously so just like any competitor he wants to go

Because what limited mobility he has (other than sliding around in the pocket) on a normal day is shot and maybe it gets him steamrolled where a shoulder gets jacked up or a knee taken out.

Aside from stats, there is nothing to play for and hasn't been since losing at home to the bottom feeding Titans.

Remember the Titans??? It sure as hell wasn't an inspirational show...

There are wins to play for. Thank god people that think as you are not in control of the team or the lesson of not doing your very best, trying your very hardest to win would be destroyed. You are speaking like a fan. Not a dis, but not what the team truly needs.

Can't help but wonder if this'll be Drew's last game - that's why he's playing with this injury against Jacksonville, Atlanta...

One more for the gipper?!?
